At K1ds Count Therapy in Brownsburg, we know that every child moves to their own rhythm and that’s why our pediatric physical therapy is personalized to fit your child’s unique needs.
Our team works with children of all ages—from newborns leaving the NICU to teens and young athletes—to develop strength, coordination, and confidence for success in everyday life and social settings.
Using play-based, goal-driven approaches, our physical therapists make everyday movements easier, foster independence, and support meaningful social interactions with peers, all while celebrating your child’s individual progress.
At K1ds Count Therapy in Brownsburg, our pediatric physical therapy begins with a comprehensive initial evaluation to assess your child’s movement, strength, coordination, and overall motor development. From there, our licensed physical therapists design personalized, play-based treatment plans that target each child’s unique needs and goals.
Therapy sessions include hands-on interventions, guided exercises, and functional activities to improve mobility, independence, and participation in daily life. We perform regular re-assessments to track progress, adjust goals, and ensure each child continues to reach their full potential.
Collaboration is key at K1ds Count Therapy. Our PTs work closely with parents, caregivers, and other KCT specialists including occupational, speech, and behavioral therapists, to provide well-rounded, coordinated care. We also provide guidance for home and school exercises to reinforce skills outside the clinic.
Based on age, there are milestones for tasks related to mobility a child should meet within a certain timeframe. In infants, mobility focuses on developmental milestones including rolling, crawling, and walking. Mobility in older children focuses to tasks such as stair navigation, environmental navigation, walking and running speed and form, and accessibility of various environments. Your KCT PT will assist in identifying what should be addressed with regards to mobility tasks across treatment sessions. In addition, PTs can help determine and obtain the appropriate assistive devices including walkers, gait trainers, standers etc. based on your child’s abilities.
Balance refers to maintaining a state of equilibrium during static and dynamic tasks. Balance incorporates the cohesiveness of three of our sensory systems – vision, somatosensory, and vestibular. Your balance system helps you stand, walk, turn, and move throughout your environment without falling. Your KCT PT can help identify the reason for impaired balance skills and provide appropriate intervention strategies or referrals to address these concerns.
Physical therapists often look at a child’s functional strength to determine areas of improvement. In infants, a baby’s ability to maintain a specific developmental position or transition through multiple positions can provide information areas of weakness. In older children, the way a child sits on the floor, transitions to standing, climbs up and down stairs, walks, and runs can provide insight on their movement patterns and potential strength deficits. Asymmetrical strength, when a child uses one arm/leg more often than the other, can also provide direction for strengthening interventions.
Flexibility and range of motion of our joints play a vital role in allowing our bodies to move through space with proper movement patterns. There are normal ranges for each joint of the body which varies by age. Common range of motion deficits in children can include tight ankles, hamstrings, and hips which can lead children to use compensatory movement strategies and delay their ability to achieve big milestones including crawling, jumping, and stair climbing. Your KCT PT can assess a child’s range of motion and address it through various intervention strategies.
Gross motor skills are abilities that let our bodies perform tasks which involve large muscle groups including our trunk, legs, and arms. These are whole-body movements kids utilize every day when they walk, run, and jump. Gross motor skills combine other body function elements including balance, coordination, strength, and body awareness. Depending on age, there are specific age ranges for achieving skills including crawling, walking, running and jumping. Your KCT PT can identify delays in a child’s ability to perform age-appropriate gross motor skills and provide skilled intervention to help progress toward those skills.
Whether it be pain associated with an injury or chronic pain, PTs have training in interventions associated with reducing pain levels. Pain can be complex biologically, psychologically, and socially and requires individualized treatment. PTs work closely with other disciplines to help children understand and treat their pain to help restore and maximize their quality of life. KCT PTs have a toolbox of training that can help reduce pain through movement, manual therapy, evidence-based modalities, and family education.
Gait training aims to help a child establish or restore a normal walking pattern, with or without an assistive device. Our PTs can meet the child at their level, whether they are still learning to walk independently or need to regain a normal walking pattern after an injury or surgery. Our Brownsburg location has a LiteGait device onsite in which our PTs utilize during gait training to allow simultaneous control of weight bearing, posture, and balance while walking.
PTs are experts in movement and movement patterns and can identify the need for an orthotic, custom or off the shelf, to help improve a child’s mobility, balance, and gait pattern. PTs work closely with physicians and certified orthotists to provide the device which will enhance and maximize a child’s independent movement patterns. In addition, PTs collaborate with prosthetists in the fitting of prosthetic devices and provide gait, balance, and strength training to help promote independent mobility.
Good posture allows your body to stand, walk, sit and lie down in the most efficient manner. Deficits in posture can cause increased strain on your ligaments and muscles while moving or performing weight-bearing activities, resulting in the potential for musculoskeletal pain in and around surrounding joints down the road. Your KCT is trained in postural assessment and can help determine the appropriate exercises and/or orthotics needed to improve posture and efficiency with movement.
Our physical therapists participate in state licensure-required continuing education opportunities to ensure assessment and intervention practices mimic current evidence-based research. Each therapist is provided with a K1ds Count Therapy annual CEU stipend to promote clinical and professional growth. Our PTs participate in regular in-service learning opportunities together to provide the most current intervention strategies based on evidence-based research.
Our pediatric physical therapists use a variety of play-based and functional techniques tailored to each child. This can include guided exercises, balance and coordination activities, strength-building routines, and hands-on movement strategies—all designed to make therapy engaging while improving everyday skills.
Physical therapy helps children gain strength, coordination, and confidence, allowing them to participate more fully in daily activities like dressing, walking, playing, or sports. Our therapists focus on skills that translate directly to home, school, and community settings, so improvements are meaningful and long-lasting.
Yes! Our team works with children recovering from injuries, surgeries, or medical conditions to restore mobility, improve strength, and prevent setbacks. We create customized plans that promote safe recovery while helping your child return to their favorite activities.
Parents and caregivers are an essential part of our therapy approach. We provide regular updates, coaching, and at-home exercises so families can support their child’s progress outside of the clinic. Collaboration ensures therapy goals are consistent across all environments.
Children who struggle with balance, coordination, strength, or gross motor skills may benefit from physical therapy. Other signs include difficulty keeping up with peers, challenges with walking, running, or climbing stairs, or delays in reaching developmental milestones.
